Small room, only big enough to fit the electronics and a small couch
5.1 surround sound system
Still not pretty or fancy, but still very comfy. My Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, PlayStation 1 and 2, Dreamcast, Japanese Saturn, Xbox, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 games are in the drawers under the HDTV. The drawers in the back are full of Blu-rays and some DVDs (with more in the closet).
Sounds like maybe you just need an HDMI switch? Something like this, for example, to let you connect up to three devices to just one of your TV HDMI ports: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/insign...dr-pass-through-black/6319221.p?skuId=6319221
Something to be wary of is whether the switch you choose can handle the capabilities of the devices you connect through it. For example, the switches on the market now might not support 120hz or VRR. So while you should be safe connecting the Nintendo Switch and cable box through it, you might want to keep the PS5 and XSX going straight to the TV.
There are some switches that can automatically change inputs when a device powers on.

Here is a quick setup picture. Although I wanted to have PlayStation 5 in vertical I hate having visible cables so in the end I removed a drawer and moved some things around so I could place it in the center of my media cabinet.
Will post more once I properly clean and orientate things.

The uniformity of this setup is wonderful. I dislike the PS5 look but this type of setup makes it shine. BravoIt is done.
Why not get white cable sleeves and keep it vertically then?Here is quick setup picture. Although I wanted to have PlayStation 5 in vertical I hate having visible cables so in the end I removed a drawer and moved some things around so I could place it in the centre of my media cabinet.

Are those floor standing speakers or lamps. If lamps, what are they called?Here is quick setup picture.

Depends. Mine is like 80% closed in the back but the front is entirely open and there is lots of space on each end for it to breathe. Depends on your media unit.
I posted this in the new thread that popped up before realizing this one existed! Whoops!
Still a WiP as I wait to get my Xbox. Not sure yet if I'll do Series S or Series X.
Series X would go on the right, and I'd likely move my PS5 to the far left cabinet. Series S would just go to the right or left of PS5 and I'll find some other stuff to fill the empty cabinet.

I may be moving soon so didn't want to alter my setup too much. Once I move I may change layout and configuration.
Those are lamps. They are called rice paper floor lamps that used to be sold at IKEA, but not sure if it's available anymore.
Thanks for posting, I have this unit. How far back do you have the PS5 pushed? Is there decent room at the back?
I was hoping those drawers weren't see through. Would look cleaner if solid and no handles too. Regardless, nice setup.
I have the PS5 maybe 2 inches away from the end of the cabinet. There's at least 3-4 inches of room behind it too.
Hey all, I have had some terrible luck with taking screenshots of the PS5 on my camera (Astro's Playroom is a big one that does this,) they always end up looking blue and not crisp like you guys pics end up. I am using an iPhone XR for taking said pics. Any reason this is happening or tips to avoid it.
Setup has come a ridiculously long way in the past month. Not least welcoming an LG CX and PS5 to the family. :)
And the HTPC I recently built for my downstairs TV:
Cheers! They're a Denon amplifier and CD deck, a TEAC tape deck, Wharfdale Diamond speakers and a Stanton T62 turntable. I have a bluetooth dongle behind the stereo too which means I pass all audio from my PC through it. Sounds fantastic. :)

Red right next to Celeste seems right. Although I may not have Koi No Yokan on that same level.

Unrequested suggestion, sorry if you're already aware! For your records in the bottom left of that shelf, you might want to try to keep them straight up right- I had something similar going on and found that some of the discs were warped afterwards which was a bummer!
All three of those are 9/10 imo. With KNY being Deftones' best imo ;)
Noted!
As a display peace I think In the Court of the Crimson King's album art is the more iconic choice, but I love displays that are more than something aesthetic/have personal meaning to the owner.
Any specific reason you didn't trade the PS4 in, now that you own a ps5. Also is there a lot of construction near you, I notice a lot of dust coming through and it's likely due to the window being open. I used to get a lot of dust in the summers in my room because I'd leave the window open in my room OCD Guy
PS5 finally arrived
Is that like an upstairs loft? Great spot with that inclined roof.
What did your consoles do to get sent to console prison?I just got a new TV cabinet, the Ikea Fjallbo, and I'm impressed with how perfectly the PS5 fits and because it's mesh there's no worries about airflow.

Yeah man it's a real pigsty lmao
I've got a 5.1 surround setup and PS5 now, but this was taken like 3 months ago when I moved in:
Yes It's an attic that got converted to a loft. Cozy and modern at the same time
I have the same cabinet but have yet to recive my PS5. At least now i know it will fit just well. Nice.
I removed the back part though so the whole thing is open.
Most definitely! Plenty of room on the sides, as well as the back for ventilation. I bought it primarily for the PS5, but it also fills out the wall better than my old one that was 60% as long.
Thanks, I don't own the TV, but I'm looking to put this
In my kitchen
So I Googled the make and model and got this
So I just use that info to get a mount, right?
So disgusting!Here is quick setup picture. Although I wanted to have PlayStation 5 in vertical I hate having visible cables so in the end I removed a drawer and moved some things around so I could place it in the centre of my media cabinet.
